Most of these presidents and prime ministers or simply politicians are said to be educated and learned, but i have a doubt. Why i say this is that i see that none of these people seem to understand that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
For the past two days i have been listening to the speeches given by the leaders of the world at the 60th UN general assembly. What struck me most was that none of these, admitted for their failures and apologized for the unjustice and pain they have inflicted upon their people. All they talk is that, they have acheived progress and that more needed to be done. All they did was to blame others and read out a very nicely written 'story'. All they talked is about the hard work their government have done to provide a safe and respectable life for their people. But the complete truth is that majority of the people in this world lives in countries where their civil liberties are abused and basic human rights are ignored. For the past 60 years, these so called leaders have been giving the same speeches and repeating the same process. These meetings have become a place where they market themselves and fulfill their personal egos.

Forexample here is a person who came to power in a military coup that overthrew an elected government and appointed himself as the president, claiming that he is the only person who can rule the country talking about civil liberties, human rights, freedom of speech and democracy. Indeed if a cat and a mouse can live in peace side by side, only then a country can be a dictatorship and a democracy at the sametime.
